Three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, large living area with amazing view of Caribbean Sea. Hot tub on dining deck, small pool in garden. Parking for two cars.

Features a huge living area above large master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Queen bedroom with private balcony and Jack-&-Jill bathroom. Single bedroom shares Jack-&-Jill bathroom. All bedrooms are air conditioned. The dining deck features a lighted hot tub and the stairs lead to a small pool in the garden. There is a safe in the master bedroom.

Very quiet neighborhood but there are neighbors.
Please be considerate of them.

The word of this place is "WOW"...pics don't do this place justice. Has to be one of the best views out on this side of the island. When u can look out over Sir Frances Drake Channel and see St. John all the way to Virgin Gorda without barely moving your body! The kitchen is fully stocked and the warming center above the stove is awesome for cooks that like to serve all hot. The pool is perfect for coming home to a day of travels to have that afternoon drink overlooking the Channel. The drive up is how you travel around the island so after the first trip or two up, it's just the way of life and you just do it. Master bedroom...another WOW factor I could keep on, but just note, between communication and this house location, it's perfect for a BVI vacation.

This house is absolutely amazing. The views are jaw dropping, and even better than in the photos. Southern facing, so great sun all day long. The master suite was enormous and beautifully decorated. Such a unique house to have the open concept on the main level, but the bedrooms are comfortably air conditioned for good sleep. Fully stocked kitchen, and brand new BBQ grill. The pool is bigger than in the photos. The light breezes mostly kept the bugs away versus being down on the ocean. The hosts were excellent at communicating before/after the trip, and check in/check out were seamless. The drive up the mountain was a little scary, but once you're at the house you won't want to leave! We'd rent this house again in a heartbeat.

Ember2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place. Very helpful hosts. Views are amazing. Great wide open spaces. Breezes blow throughout the home. Multiple fragrances of soap is an added bonus. Highly recommend.

Everything in the property was exactly as in the pictures, everything exelent. It was all clean and Ian was very kind. He help us with everything we needed. Thank you Ian. Count with us the next time we visit Tortola to stay there again

Edgardo2016-07-26T00:00:00Z

The townhouse was just as described. Very convenient to Town by a short walk. We also appreciated walking next door to the Pub for a nice dinner.

Gwendolyn2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

#9 Waterfront was a wonderful experience. It is an easy walk from the Road Town ferry dock. The view over the bay made for a wonderful evening with a glass of wine after a long day of exploring Tortola and a few more islands. It is also an easy walk to the grocery store just across from the yacht club (5 mins max, watch for traffic). It is also and easy walk into town. We rented a car to see the North side of the island and took a taxi to get to the West side ferry. Very well worth the money! I want to be a "Belonger" ;>)

The private suite has a constant breeze and mesmerizing dream view of Beef, Guana & Virgin Gorda Islands. A 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk over the bridge to Beef Island and Long Bay Beach and 7 minutes to the airport. Trellis bay on Beef Island features shops, restaurants and ferry connections to Virgin Gorda, Scrub & Pussers's Marina Cay. We are in close proximity to East-End/Long Look supermarkets, 15 minutes to Hodges Creek Marina, Josiah's Bay, Lambert Bay and 25 minutes to Road Town.

The Master Suite is spacious, bright and has a constant breeze flowing through french doors of the private viewing balcony. The queen size bed is well appointed with lots of comfy pillows and a soft duvet for cool nights. There is a smart TV with access to Netflix and an HDMI cable to connect your personal devices. The room has an ensuite private full bath with towels, and starter toiletries such as shampoo, body soap, toilet paper, etc. There is also a full laundry room for your use near the kitchen, ($5 a load to cover excessive utility costs) equipped with an ironing board and iron. Luxury Twin Air Mattress provided for additional Guest.

Beautiful residential location just before the bridge to Beef Island. Your view is full of Yachts and sailboats traversing the waters enticing you to come out and play. Our neighborhood is generally quiet and rural, with Shetland ponies that run free with goats and sheep.

Barbara and Carol and great hostesses and cooks! The room we stayed in was very clean and came with a beautiful view. We appreciated the proximity to the airport as well as nearby beaches and food. Barbara and Carol had great recommendations for the area and we gladly listened. Any guest will be happy here.

Barbara (& Carol!) are delightful hosts, who shared their home, kitchen, laughter, and island with us. We opted not to rent a vehicle, as hitch-hiking is safe and common here, and Barbara filled in-between as an incredible tour guide and Tortola expert. Our BVI trip would not have have been as wonderful without her. We very much look forward to our next stay!

This beautifully furnished villa sits in the hills of Tortola just 15 minutes away from the airport and 7 minutes away from the town. It's wrapped with gorgeous views of the blue sea and neighboring Islands. Your Home away from home!

This new villa is seated in a very breezy community with residential homes surrounding it which gives you a native experience if you so desire and is extremely safe! minutes away from beautiful beaches. Trunk Bay, Cooten Bay.... Just to name a few!

its quiet, culturally diverse, persons are very easy to get along with who can expose persons to various experiences

Beyond amazing experience!!! There are no words to describe the hospitality, kindness, and generosity Garvin's mother showed my boss and his friends. His mother picked them up at the airport, had a Christmas meal waiting for them at the house, drove them around, showed them Tortola and helped them get ready for their sailing trip. The house was absolutely BRAND NEW, and lovely. Could not have planned a better stay for them in any hotel!! Garvin was super communicative with booking and instructions for arrival, etc. This family is very special and will make anyone feel special in Tortola. Thank you!!!

margarita2015-12-27T00:00:00Z

Garvin and his family were awesome hosts. We ( family of 5 , with three teenagers) were picked up at the ferry and taken to their lovely home up in the hills above Road Town. Their home was very well maintained. Garvin's mom gave us a tour of the house, and made sure we were all very comfortable for our 3 night stay. We were given drinks and fresh herbs from her garden, to use when we cooked. Christmas morning we were treated to mini cheesecakes and a special homemade cake. All were delicious. We rented a car from them for 2 days which enabled us to get around the whole island. They drove us back to the ferry the day we left. Highly recommend their home for space and comfort. Very hospitable family .

Bruno2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

Amazing rental!. All of Garvin's family were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Property is very nicely appointed, close to so much on the island and has great views in all directions. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it!

Words can't describe how we were treated and how beautiful the house was. Garvin's mom and sister greeted us in their private vehicles at the marina where we just finished a week of sailing. We were in need a little down time and found it. They treated us like family, filling our every need. Garvin called from school and made sure everything was OK. Their house was like something out of a magazine and was an oasis in a town that isn't always as pretty. Their flowers and cleanliness was icing on the cake. We would go back in a heart beat.

This was our first time using Airbnb. Garvin and his family were great to us always asked if we needed anything and made sure we were doing OK the whole trip. Best Time Ever.

Clive2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely, better than the pictures depict spacious and clean. Garvin and his family are wonderful hosts. They will pick you up from the airport and also will rent you their car. They are friendly and available to help without being invasive. The only thing missing was a washing machine. The place was in a great location and with the car we easily explored the majority of the island, which, by the way, is amazing in every way. Much better than staying at a hotel and a much more authentic experience. Thank you for a wonderful new year holiday we would definitely return!

Orchid House at Stoney Point, a 1.5 acre nature retreat! Outdoor living and elegant glamping at its best in a tiny 1 Bedroom, solar powered, hardwood cottage on beautiful East End. Breathtaking views of Privateer Bay and the entire BVI are steps away.
Sleeping is the only activity located inside the screened cottage. The kitchenette, dining, sitting area and bath are on covered porches. Orchid House is surrounded by native trees, orchids and tropical vegetation for complete privacy.

Orchid House is powered by sunshine from a solar carport (we never have to worry about the grid going down!) and built of sustainably harvested, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, regionally sourced tropical hardwoods. Stoney Point, a 1.5-acre gated nature retreat, with 55 native tree and plant species including endemic, highly threatened species that are only found on East End. It is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat with 1/3 of the property (½ acre) set aside in deeded conservation easements.

Privateer Bay and East End, which begins at Haulover Bay, is one of the most awesomely beautiful, undeveloped and remote areas on St. John, and there are 3 different beaches and snorkeling less than 5 minutes away! A nature lovers delight! It is one of the last vestiges of the "old Caribbean" to be found on St. John. It is literally "at the end of the road" on Route 10. Yet, Coral Bay restaurants, shops and nightlife are a 15 minute drive away, through the National Park!

Positively unique experience! Beautifully handcrafted cabin in the woods. Doug was great and passionate about sustainability.

Franklin2017-01-26T00:00:00Z

The Orchid House is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. My partner and I were very comfortable for the duration of our stay. Doug's dedication to conservation and sustainability is seamlessly incorporated into the design and function of the Orchid House. Doug and Leslie were great hosts with a beautiful location and when we come back to St. John we will be returning, hopefully soon!

Liam2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

We cannot say enough fantastic things about this place. Incredible setting, beautifully landscaped, secluded, with wonderful homeowners that have taken immaculate care of their property. This "glamping" experience was more than we expected and Doug and Leslie thought of every detail possible. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Doug and Leslie's Orchid House is a magical place to stay. We just spent a week there, it was our first trip to St. John, and we will definitely plan to come back. Every detail and simple amenity was provided, with taste and sustainability in mind. We wanted to experience the 'real' Caribbean, as unaltered as possible. Not only does Orchid House blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape, but it provides guests with a short walk down the pebbled path to a view overlooking Privateer Bay that is among the most beautiful we've seen, anywhere. It's a piece of paradise, and knowing that the surrounding vegetation is native and being protected was especially important to us. Thank you Doug and Leslie for a wonderful introduction to St. Joh.

Cathy and Dan 2017-03-10T00:00:00Z

Doug and Leslie were outstanding hosts complete with fresh passion fruit juice upon our arrival! The cottage is a lovely piece of art itself filled with cozy furnishings, unique antiques and, of course, blooming orchids around every corner :) We felt so welcome and even were able to bring our little pup too! From the views of Stoney point down to the local beaches our stay was a remarkably magical experience and we are so very grateful for your sharing of your home and luscious land with us; we'll definitely come visit again!

Located in central Tortola, This private downstairs suite gives easy access to all parts of the island (especially surf beaches).. You’ll love my place because of the views, the location, and the ambiance. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers and surfers.

We keep the space as clean as possible. Fully air conditioned room with clean sheets, hypoallergenic pillows, a dehumidifier and fan. The kitchen holds a fridge, mini oven, countertop stove and microwave. Healthy snacks, water, toiletries, towels provided.
The room is quaint, but I promise you a comfortable stay!

Our "neighborhood" consists of rich vegetation and wildlife.

Robert and his family were perfect hosts. Incredibly friendly family with a genuine interest in who you are. If, like me, all you need is a bed and a shower this is what you're looking for but it even comes with a little kitchenette if you want to cook a meal. All in all, a great experience with some very nice people.

Robert's father and mother provided local fruit treats and coffee grinds. Fridge was well stocked and apartment was well maintained and clean. Private entrance along with quiet location on the island. Perfectly situated on Ridge Road between locals on the island. The apartment and private bathroom was perfect size and needed nothing more. The outdoor patio and laundry service was very convenient for our stay. I can't wait to come back and hang! Plus go to share some waves with Robert. coffee from his father and local Sour Sop fruit with this mother. It was a true experience. See you guys soon!

Jon2017-04-04T00:00:00Z

Robert was an excellent host! He came and got us from the ferry dock in the evening and helped us find our car rental company, before guiding us up to his place. He and his family made us feel at home right away. Our room was private and comfortable, with our own bathroom; and the refrigerator came stocked with breakfast cereal, milk, snacks and coffee -- which we thought was a nice touch. This is a great home base to discover the island, provided you have a car.

Centrally located in a lush private garden near the rainforest, this cozy studio is surrounded by colorful tropical blooms, herbs, and fruits. A short walk to Sage Mountain, 10 minutes to beaches and town, and an easy drive to many fine restaurants.

Perfect for one or two guests. Quiet and comfortable, private driveway and access, centrally located. Private deck for dining and additional large access deck for surfboards, etc.

Beautiful spacious neighborhood, surrounded by lush landscaping and beautiful homes. Elevation makes this part of the island cooler. Giant bamboo on the property makes natural music to accompany the many other sounds of the tropical forest. Uncomplicated access by road from anywhere on the island.

Just returned to the states after spending twelve nights at the beautiful studio apartment. Our stay was beyond compare, the beautiful garden settings very relaxing and serene, above and beyond what we hoped for. Our hostess Majel and her daughter were extremely knowledgeable with directions and good places that were fun and a little off the beaten path. It is the perfect place to escape, reflect, and enjoy the island way of life.

Had a great holiday - nothing was too much trouble for Majel. There is nothing misleading in descriptions and the studio was very peaceful with lovely views. It is in an upmarket area of Tortola so even the surrounding guard dogs were well trained - none of the incessant barking - just a warning when necessary which gave an extra secure feeling to the place. You certainly need a car - preferably 4WD as hills are very steep and a normal car would probably not feel safe in damp conditions. There seems to be everything you need supplied and we are very pleased to have chosen the Garden Studio.

Stephanie2015-03-04T00:00:00Z

Absolutely amazing stay at the Garden Studio. It was perfect in every way! Majel was lovely and accommodating, and the rental was fantastic and centrally located. The studio was cozy, tactful, clean, and well-stocked; with beautiful craftsmanship and an incredible view. Majel's directions to the property were precise and communication with her was effortless. Best rental we stayed in during our trip!

Nycole2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

This place is wonderful. Perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all, but close enough to any convenience you may still want or need. We loved having the kitchen so we could have breakfast and coffee in our pj's before we went out into the world for the day. The property is wonderful and provides a great view of some neighboring islands. Also, as a guy, I think one of my favorite parts of the location was the scenic drive up to the house. All around great spot!!!

Robert2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Majel was lovely and the cottage was exactly as pictured but even more charming in person! Quiet, peaceful place with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable and the fresh breeze at night made for a good nights sleep. Great location to the west end or quick trip down the hill to head to Road Town. Would definitely stay here again.

Emily2016-03-15T00:00:00Z

Solch ein großartiger Ort für einige private ruhige Zeit.

Dennis2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

Majel's place is amazing, it is much better than on pictures. It was shiny clean, has a beautiful island decor. The studio is equipped with everything you might need on you stay. We were pleasantly surprised to have a chilled wine and water waiting in the fridge. We are at the balcony and spend evenings there stargazing . Serenity of the place gets under your skin . Will stay again.

The Retreat on St. John, the most beautiful of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is a uniquely spectacular oceanfront rental villa. It's elegant simplicity complements the beauty of its hillside setting above one of the most pristine beaches in the world.
PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL RENTAL
TERMS IN "OTHER THINGS TO NOTE" SECTION BELOW.

Stunning views of the bay and across Sir Francis Drake Passage to the magnificent island of Tortola encompass you as you approach The Retreat by road. Each room of the house is oriented to maximize these sweeping vistas, second to none of St. John.
PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL RENTAL
TERMS IN "OTHER THINGS TO NOTE" BELOW.
Across Dreekets Bay from the house lies the untouched landscape of Virgin Islands National Park. The front of each pavilion is a glazed rollup door, allowing the entire wall to open up to tropical breezes and the view. Just 110' below the house down a set of stairs and a private switchback trail, the secluded sandy beach provides a perfect spot for sunbathing, snorkeling, or pure relaxation.
Located on the pristine east end of St. John, Dreekets Bay is known among locals for having some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean.
Reached by a scenic drive through the National Park along paved roads from Cruz Bay, Every room in The Retreat features breathtaking views: stand in the kitchen and watch fish swim through crystal-clear aquamarine waters or relax in bed while looking out across the bay to the island of Tortola. Inside, each room is tastefully furnished with slate floors, vaulted ceilings, and modern amenities.
The Retreat consists of three quietly elegant pavilions centered around a private garden courtyard, on a hillside above beautiful Dreekets Bay on the secluded east end of St. John, USVI. A 40' lap pool runs the length of the courtyard. Comfortable lounge chairs on the deck around the pool create an ideal spot for private sunbathing. A large Jacuzzi surrounded by tropical landscaping provides the perfect spot to unwind.
The central pavilion contains the living room and a gourmet kitchen, while the two side pavilions each contain a separate bedroom suite. Both bedroom suites have closets, separate bathrooms, balconies, and completely private slate-lined outdoor showers with a view of the sea. The bedrooms are furnished with king-sized beds, ceiling fans, and air-conditioning. Sleeping lofts tucked into the roof rafters of the bedroom pavilions can accommodate kids or extra guests. Each of the two lower bedroom pavilions, while on the same level as the courtyard and living room, is completely private from the rest of the Retreat.
Because of its location, the beach at Dreekets Bay remains unspoiled by crowds and pollution, providing an unsurpassed setting for sunbathing, snorkeling and diving. Just offshore, waters teem with waving anemones, soft-corals, and multi-hued hard corals that shelter brilliant fish of all shapes and sizes. Dolphins and sea turtles play offshore, and lobster, black corals, and even rare Elkhorn corals are often spotted here.
Conveniently close to the town of Coral Bay yet stunningly secluded and untouched, the location of The Retreat is perfect for romantic couples, adventure-seeking families, busy executives looking for solitude, and anyone searching for peaceful luxury in a setting of glorious natural beauty.
Come stay with us, and discover the pleasure of a perfect place to simply be.

Incredible home. Can't wait for our next visit!

Lacey2015-09-13T00:00:00Z

We had a fabulous time at the Retreat. It is located at the far end of St. John and is quite secluded and quiet. All three buildings in the complex open up completely to the bay so each morning we were greeted by some of the most beautiful views imaginable. The large kitchen and living room also opens up completely. The short path down to the rocky beach led to some excellent snorkeling (we saw sea turtles, cuttlefish, and lots of corral and other fishes); although not a great beach for just hanging out on (although we did a couple of times). The island is relatively small so we took short day trips some days to the surrounding beaches at Cinnamon Bay, Caneel Bay, and Hansen Bay (look for Pete and his floating bar) - all of which were excellent. We had a great time cooking in and using the BBQ, as well as taking the 30 minute drive into Cruz Bay and a very short trip to Coral Bay for dinner. Overall we would highly recommend the Retreat. It was great for two couples each having our own separate accommodations. Also, Dena met us in Cruz Bay and helped us out with groceries and the rental car which was also great and the pool was also very nice to cool off in.

Ben2015-05-30T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Ruth's house! It really is a great getaway. It's perched on the side of a mountain and the pictures honestly don't do it justice -- it has an insanely gorgeous view. From the house you are looking at Tortola and it's truly incredible. You can walk down to the water on a path from the house and there is great snorkeling, but there isn't a beach right there. There is also great snorkeling right down the street from the house. There are 5 amazing beaches all within 30 minutes of the house. Check out Maho, Cinnamon, Trunk. You can rent paddle boards in Cruz Bay and paddle Maho Bay -- great time, lots of sea turtles. Something to know is you definitely want to rent a car -- you are a bit secluded (which is awesome), but just something you should know. The only really developed area on the island is Cruz Bay, which is about 35 minutes away. Coral Bay is about 10 minutes away, but is far less developed. The house does have snorkel gear, but if you are really into it, you might rent your own. They provided shampoo and conditioner, which was awesome -- the only shower is outside. There is a great hot tub and super cool pool. I would make sure to grab some bug spray, there are a bunch of biting flies all over St John.

John 2015-10-20T00:00:00Z

The Retreat is absolutely amazing and Dena, the Property Manager, second to none. She goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect for a stress-free vacation. If you are looking for a quiet and secluded getaway with unparalleled views, this is your place. We hardly ever left! You can snorkel in the bay right in front of the house. We will definitely return. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Meredith2016-12-12T00:00:00Z

We recently booked "the Retreat" for a family vacation. The home has beautiful views of Tortola and is up on a hill on the far eastern end of St. John. We were met at the house by Dena who gave us a tour and explained everything. We chose this house for it's wide open spaces and breezy living areas. Unfortunately, the wide open areas ( covered by special electric screen doors) are prone to mosquitos. The property includes access to the water which is down a steep path. This looks like a great place to snorkel. We were on vacation with our 3 year old and felt this property was not suitable for her due to the steep path down to the water, lack of a sandy beach and the hilly terraced pool area. Overall I thought the property owner was very helpful and considerate. The property caretaker Dena,also was helpful, giving lots of useful advice regarding car rental and other information. This is a great property for those looking for a remote spot that is in a prime snorkeling area, families with small children need to be mindful of the steep terrain and the insects that enter the screened areas.

andrew2016-01-17T00:00:00Z

The Retreat is a stunning group of 3 bungalows tucked away on the side of a mountain, with an unbelievable view from every room. We loved that the glass doors rolled up into the ceiling and you felt like you were living outside. It is a gorgeous and peaceful house, tucked away from the noise of Cruz bay but we easily went to beaches every day & out to dinner every night. We loved it, as did our 15 year old and our 8 year old who loved having an entire building to themselves. We have been coming to St.John for 12 years and this is definitely our favorite place, because of the design of the house, the unbelievable views- And the beds were super comfy as well.

We loved staying at the Retreat! The cottage is beautifully kept, and is the perfect place for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Ruth's host, Dena was very helpful in getting us to the grocery store, Jeep rental, and to the Retreat. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

My place is a tropical paradise, close to family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the view and the coziness. The beaches are only five minutes drive away. For the business travelers, Road Town is only five minutes away. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Your private bedroom contains a queen size bed, flat screen tv, AC, with lots of closet and drawers space. There is a entrance door from inside the house and a double (French style) door that opens up to a large porch and majestic view. The property is gated, so yard space is also private.

The property is located in a quiet gated mountain side neighborhood close to the main road.

Kenrick was great host, very welcoming helpful and flexible. His house is nestled in the mountain surrounded by nature, the balcony has an incredible view of Road Town. The bed is very comfortable and room spacious, there is cable TW & Wifi, the mountain breeze meant I did even need to use the Air con. The place is quiet and comfortable with quick access to Road Town and great value too. I won’t hesitate to stay again next time I’m on Tortola.

Conveniently located just a ten minute drive to Road Town to the west, and a ten minute drive to the airport to the east

Rhumb House sits atop a scenic promontory on almost two acres, a private estate commanding spellbinding views of Paraquita and Brandywine Bays and yachts sailing through Sir Francis Drake Channel. This impressive enclave is tucked behind a gate. A cobblestone driveway leads to Rhumb House's dramatic entrance graced by a colonnade of towering royal palms, a fanciful filigreed gazebo and a flagstone walkway that threads through tropical gardens and koi ponds and looks over 180 degree views of the Caribbean Sea dotted with green islets and cays beyond.
Double doors open into a large, airy foyer with a lush atrium garden of torch ginger and ferns. An inviting sitting area faces the ocean, with french doors accessing the terrace, outdoor dining area and pool just outside. The foyer area also has a powder room done in Caribbean blue. To the left is the estate's air conditioned drawing room, where an eclectic mix of antiques and contemporary furnishings combine serene elegance and comfort, and where the spectacular ocean view fills arched windows above cushioned window seats.

Casa Flamboyant is a 3-bedroom vacation rental at West End, Tortola, with breathtaking views of nearby islands. The villa sleeps 1-6 people and has A/C, two decks, private master suite, spacious kitchen, cool breezes and lots of outdoor living spaces.

Casa Flamboyant has a master bedroom suite with a private bathroom, balcony and seating area. Two additional bedrooms each with a double bed complete the sleeping accommodations. The eating/dining area consists of a large, well-equipped kitchen, bar area and dining table seating up to 8 persons.
The sitting area consists of comfortable couches and chairs perfect for reading, visiting or an afternoon nap, as well as two sundecks where you can enjoy the view and breeze. There is also cable TV and a DVD player / library.
The style of Casa Flamboyant is contemporary and comfortable. Distinctive West Indian hardwood floors and exceptional views of the Sir Francis Drake’s Channel make the villa unique among Tortola vacation rentals. Our hillside location gives guests outstanding sunset and sunrise views, and rainbows are commonplace (get your cameras ready, folks!). Verdant mountains, robust landscaping, cool breezes and the sounds of tropical birds lend a sense of escape which guests will find restorative and relaxing.
Casa Flamboyant is also designed for activities. Guests have access to an outdoor grill and large alfresco seating and dining area. Beach towels, beach toys and beach chairs are available for guest use, and there is a library with board games, books and DVDs. We also provide yoga mats.

Casa Flamboyant is located on the West End of Tortola, one of the most upscale sections of the island. The West End area has many fine restaurants and there is good shopping at Soper's Hole marina - 5 minutes away. The island's most popular beaches (Smuggler's Cove, Long Bay, Cane Garden Bay, Apple Bay) are all close by.
The rental enjoys sweeping ocean vistas, breath-taking sunsets and captivating ever changing views of the sea and islands beyond. It is on an elevation of 450 feet and is located in Romney Park. The road up to the property is a little steep, but it takes just a few trips up and down to get used to it and that's why we have such a wonderful view! The rental is minutes from the West End Ferry Terminal with connections to the US Virgin Islands and Jost Van Dyke.
Nearby restaurants include BananaKeet Café, The Sugar Mill, Long Bay Beachfront Restaurant, D' Coalpot and Frenchmans, to name just a few. There is a watersports centre, dive shop and spa at Soper's Hole, as well as additional services at Nanny Cay Marina about 10 minutes away.

Staying at Casa Flamboyant was a terrific vacation experience. My new wife and I were on our honeymoon and Susanna's place couldn't have been better for us to relax and explore the BVI. The top half of their home is so spacious with plenty of privacy. The bedrooms are air conditioned and the main area has tons of windows and screened doors to open and let in the great breezes. The views from the decks (there are two) are amazing, and we watched the sunset most nights there. The home was impeccably clean and Susanna gave us great suggestions for dining. It's also great that it's located between the West End and Road Town. Also, the value is incredible for such a nice, big space. We'd certainly love to return to stay again.

Susanna's place was the perfect stay for all our family. It accommodated all of us so comfortably with the in laws.It was central, super clean, had everything we wanted and more. The scenery was out of this world. We couldn't ask for a better one while having our morning coffee. Our kids felt like it was home. Our favorite thing in this stay was Susanna her self. She was an amazing host. She answered every question, made sure we arrived safely, she picked us up from the port, and her house was fully equipped with all the information we needed!! She was available at any day and time!! Definitely recommended!!

Susanna and Casa Flamboyant are wonderful! The views and sunsets are spectacular. If you have never stayed on Tortola, be prepared for a steep drive, if you have, you know what to expect. The extra attention to detail from Susanna with driving directions and photos really made a difference. The house was beautiful, 10 minutes to West End and Soper's Hole, 15 minutes from Road Town. We will definitely return!!!

6* listing! You will be hard-pressed to find more accommodating hosts than Susanna and Amarro. Their beautiful home, nestled near the top of Mount Zion, offers advertisement-grade views and their gracious hospitality and unlimited knowledge of the islands only bolsters the appeal! Susanna was able to procure necessities prior to our arrival and make our transition from travelers to temporary island residents seamless. Susanna was quick to respond to any questions or concerns about our stay, while we were on the island as well as even months prior to our arrival! Our host even met us near the main road to ensure we could easily find the property, as we arrived after sunset. I don't think you'll find better accommodations on the island of Tortola, as this member and her husband seriously will go out of their way to make sure you have a comfortable stay. For me, personally, i've now stopped looking for lodging on the island of Tortola, I have no reason to look any place else!!!

Just like Casa Flamboyant's other reviews suggest, this house did not disappoint. The views, the layout, the cleanliness, the decor and especially our host (Susanna) exceeded our expectations. We rented the house for two days prior to our boat charter and we wish we would have stayed longer! The large kitchen space and open floor plan allowed us to easily prepare for charter, and the three rooms (with air conditioning!) were perfectly comfortable for the three couples in our party. Susanna was an incredibly gracious host! Since we arrived in the evening, she met us at the base of the road to Casa Flamboyant so we could follow her "up" for the first time. Glad we listened to this recommendation as the switchbacks would have been challenging to try blind. It would be impossible to write enough good words about this house, its location and owner! Highly recommend reserving this home when journeying to Tortola. We will be back!

Casa Flamboyant is simply excellent. The view is marvelous and the nice decor is just as the photos posted. The host, Samantha had, in all senses of the word, gone out of her way waiting at the main road to greet us on our arrival, which was an hour to midnight. She also helped us to pick up our rental car in early hours of the morning the very next day. What more can we say about Hospitality !! Only regret is that our stay is too short.

K Y2015-05-10T00:00:00Z

Susanna and her husband did an amazing job giving us information and answering questions both leading up to and during our trip. She had a house guidebook that really helped us navigate all we needed to know while on Tortola. I love that she provided a local cell phone so we could schedule day sails, call her with any questions, and get in touch with local businesses. My husband and I had the best time at Casa Flamboyant and will definitely be visiting again! Thank you tons for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. The views were spectacular!

Brianna2016-08-04T00:00:00Z

Amazing views. The pictures cannot possibly show how nice this home is. Susanna has all of the details and house instructions clearly written. Everything was better than expected!
